SHANGHAI Dashijie, a century-old, once popular entertainment center in downtown, will reopen for a trial operation on Wednesday to exhibit “intangible cultural heritages,” officials said.

The building, also known as the Great World Amusement Center, will officially open to the public in March, the Huangpu District government said.

It will only open to invited visitors during the trial operation, such as staff from local government agencies, university students and the media to test safety and management.
